Title: Improvements relating to joints for electric cable systems
IPC: H02G15/24
Filed: 1935-07-02
Abstract: 462,287. Cable joints. CALLENDER'S CABLE & CONSTRUCTION CO., Ltd. (Okonite-Callender Cable Co., Inc.) July 2, 1935, No. 18920. [Class 38 (i)] A joint casing 8 for cables of the type laid in a pipe line B containing insulating liquid under pressure, is put into communication with the interior of the pipe line by means of a valve-controlled pipe or orifice 23 disposed within the casing. The end of each pipe B is belled or connected to a belled fitting 1, Fig. 1, to which is attached a barrier plate 11 having thimbles 13 in which the cables, with a short piece of sheath 9 attached, are wedged and secured by a wiped joint 18. The joint casing 8 is jointed to the fitting 1 by a lead tipped gasket 21 with clamping rings 19, 20. The pipe 23 passes through the plate 11 and has a valve 23a controlled by hand from the exterior of the system so that one length of the pipe line can be isolated in case of leakage or for repair. An automatic valve may be substituted. The plates 11 are rigidly spaced by angle bars SR. A metal braid 17 covers the joint and is secured by the wipe 18 at each end. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the plate 11 carries an extension 11<1>, 25 the latter part being located eccentrically to align with and fit the pipe line B to which it is connected by a sliding fluid-tight joint 29 that allows expansion of the pipe line. The valve 36 controls an orifice in the plate 11 through which communication between the casing 8 and the pipe line B takes place. The valve stem projects through the offset portion between the sleeves 11<1> and 25 to the exterior for manual control.

Abstract: 447,584. Sweeping flues of fireplaces. GILL, H. J., 74, Beach Road, Weston-super- Mare. July 2, 1935, No. 18933. [Class 126] Apparatus for preventing the emission of soot into a room when sweeping the fireplace flue comprises, in the form shown in Figs. 14, 16 and 18, a fabric or like screen 10 attached at the edges to a rigid or extensible frame 1 by which it is held against the front of the fireplace, pads or strips 72, 73 of rubber or other soft pliable material being placed between the frame and fireplace to seal the joints. A tubular extensible jack, Fig. 6, is secured within, and at each side of, the fireplace opening, the jacks shown comprising an outer tube 22, an inner tube 23 secured at adjustable height within it, and a screwed rod 24 adjustable in the tube 23 and carrying a head 27 with a rubber or like pad 28 which engages underneath the top of the opening. An extensible spreader member 35 holds the jacks apart. Screwed members 46 passing through the screen are formed with hooked rear ends engaging the jacks, and carry hook members adjustable along them by wing nuts 55 and engaging telescopic bars 40 which bear at the top and bottom on the upper and lower members of the frame 1. By adjustment of the nuts 55 the bars 40 can thus be forced rearwardly and caused to press the frame 1 against its seating. The screen 10 is provided with apertures 13 through which the operator's hands are inserted into glove-like pockets 14, a transparent observation panel 16, and a sleeve 12 for the passage of the brush-rods. At the end of the sleeve is a wood tube 56 with internal bristles at each end forming ring- shaped brushes encircling the rods. A sootbag 69 has its open upper end attached to hooks 27b and projections 27a on the heads of the two jacks, Fig. 6, the mouth being held open and against the rear wall of the fireplace by arms 34 adjustably mounted on the jacks. Alternatively the mouth of the bag may be attached to a frame with telescopic and hinged sides carried on vertically adjustable supports, by which it may be supported in the desired position ; or the telescopic frame may be expanded by springs to hold the mouth of the bag open to the full extent of the entrance to the flue. Figure 19 shows a modified form of apparatus for supporting the screen in the opening of a range, the frame on which it is supported being formed of telescoping tubular members so as to be expansible in height and width, and being pressed outwardly by spreaders 79, 80 to force it against a packing strip 78 arranged between it and the edges of the opening.
